You can generate Mermaid diagrams for repository architecture by automating the creation of system/module maps, interfaces, and key classes, outputting a single Overview.md file with clear boundaries and explicit dependency rules.

Maintaining architecture overview documentation during refactoring involves updating Mermaid diagrams to reflect shifting module boundaries, interfaces, and dependency rules, while preserving links to related ADRs and Features for traceability.

Yes, automating module boundary and diagram generation requires repository write access to output the updated docs/Architecture/Overview.md file containing the Mermaid diagrams and explicit dependency rules.

Yes, you can link architecture diagrams to ADRs and Features to support onboarding. The generated Overview.md includes Mermaid diagrams for system maps and key classes with direct traceability to related decisions.

Automating system and module maps streamlines onboarding by providing new developers with a single source of truth. The generated Mermaid diagrams visualize interfaces, key classes, and dependency rules, reducing ramp-up time.

Mermaid diagrams for architecture overviews are limited to visualizing module boundaries, interfaces, and key classes within a single Overview.md file. They require manual updates if architectural changes occur outside the automated generation process.
